The Past is Present
"The Past is Present" is a breakout-inspired game where your objective is to survive as long as possible. Blocks at the top of the screen will fall down and increasingly gain strength. While you can level up and gain a stronger ball, you have another resource with time travel which is gained through clearing blocks. When time traveling, the map will reset to the stated time but you will also run into your past self, if you are hit by your other self's ball you will get a game over also but if they get hit by your ball they will be defeated.

Absolutely love the concept here! My mind was blown when I had to fight against multiple past selves at once.
This concept absolutely rules
What a neat idea!!
Great game! I love the time travel mechanic!
